Message from the Superintendent of EPF Department

The Employees' Provident Fund is the Largest Retirement Benefit scheme in Sri Lanka that offers a joint action plan by the employer and the employee to save for the future retirement life of the employees in the Corporate and Mercantile Sector. I like to take this opportunity to appreciate the effort done by the staff of Labor Dept. as the administrator and the Central Bank as the Custodian of the Fund to operate the EPF efficiently by introducing new systems.

With the aim of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Employees' Provident Fund several re-engineering projects are being implemented. In order to increase public awareness the Labor Dept. and the Central Bank have jointly compiled information that will be useful for the employers and members. I hope the access to information through the new EPF website will be a fulfillment of a long felt need of both employers and employees. This will facilitate the members to obtain all necessary forms for EPF purposes without visiting EPF offices. The EPF also hopes to provide many more services for members and employers, through the website in the future.

I believe that the information published in the website will be useful to all EPF's stakeholders to carry out their functionalities more conveniently. I wish the new website to be a great success.

Employees' Provident Fund

Message from the Commisioner of Labour

The Employees' Provident Fund, which was established in 1958, as a retirement benefit scheme for the employees of the corporate and private sector is the largest fund with an asset base of over Rs. 1,300 billion. The fund maintains 15mn member accounts with 2.4mn currently contributing members. With the aim of increasing the awareness of all its stakeholders, the EPF has developed a website in all three languages.

This website contains comprehensive information for employers and members to carry out their functionalities conveniently. Facilities for the members to obtain all necessary forms for EPF purposes are provided by the site reducing the hassle for its stakeholders of visiting EPF offices. I believe that the information provided by the website will help the members to understand on how to maintain their accounts in the proper manner so that there will not be any complications at refunding of funds.

I wish to thank all the staff of the Employees' Provident Fund and Infocraft Ltd. who contributed to make this website a reality and I hope that it will be a success.
